NoDa Monstro Bottle Release Nov. 1

NoDa Brewing Company is dropping some exciting news on us these days, with Monstro bottles slated to drop at the brewery on Saturday, November 1 at 10am. This is a whale (pun intended, I’m sorry) of a Russian Imperial Stout aged in those fabled Pappy Van Winkle bourbon barrels your grandfather keeps telling you about, finishing at 11.2% ABV.

The details:

$18 per 22oz bottle

Limit 1 case per person

Commercial description:

Neptune said to the sea there should be a terrible Monstro, born from its darkest depths. It should be stout with the strength of a whale. This is that beer…of toasted barley mass, rounded out by the vanillas, molasses and oak of bourbon barrel aging. Enjoy the deep. 11.2% ABV
